Carney: Premier Eby and I are announcing a landmark Canada-BC cooperative prosperity agreement.

Carney: The climate plan we inherited from the previous government was well-intentioned and well-suited for the times in which it was designed. The certainties of the world of 2015 are long gone ...

Nobody knows how long the global economy will rely on conventional energy, but while it does, as much of that energy as possible should come from Canada."

"“In the months since, House and Senate Republicans have conducted more aggressive oversight of Colby than nearly any other Trump appointee. They have overruled his policies and blocked the confirmation of two officials nominated to serve as his top deputies. At least two prominent Republicans have publicly accused him of dishonesty." https://t.co/FC2VbGTyUf
